Fan Runs Across Field And Tackles Winnipeg Blue Bombers Mascot From Behind (Video)
It might seem like it’s all fun and games being a professional sports mascot, but let me assure you, it is not. Not only are those big fuzzy suits crazy hot (and I presume smelly), but they also have to perform crazy stunts that sometimes do not go according to plan. In fact, even when [...]

Did you ever notice how the further down you go on the sports pyramid, the weirder the mascots get? For example, there aren’t really any professional sports teams with bizarre names.

Phillie Phanatic Dances With Spice Girls And Vanilla Ice During 90s Retro Night At Citizens Bank Park (Videos)
Last night it was “90s Retro Night” at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia.

If the official logo and mascots of the 2012 London Olympics are any indication, the upcoming Games will be pretty weird.

Watch This Mascot Get Thrown From An ATV And Hit The Ground Face First (Video)
It’s not easy being a sports mascot. Not only are those suits ridiculously hot, but those guys get subjected to all kinds of abuse and humiliation.

Paula Abdul Gets Down with the Phillie Phanatic (Video and GIF)
We already knew that cheerleader-turned-singer-turned-over-medicated singing contest judge Paula Abdul likes hanging out with weirdos.

9 Most Hilarious Mascot Pranks
Oh mascots. You pretty much just appeal to little kids and the mentally handicapped, but every so often, you do something that’s very unbecoming (and normally a little mean) that makes us fall in love with you all over again. The more out of line, the better, as it’s a perfect linear relationship. Under the [...]

10 Awesome But Unofficial Sports Mascots
Recently, it’s been a bad time to be an unofficial mascot. Half of the guys on this list have passed away in the past three years, and that’s not even counting the Hogettes, whose ranks probably grow thinner by the hour.
